    Summary Of Article 5 Of The Federal Constitution

    Last but not least, in our country, Article 5 of the Federal Constitution provides human rights to Liberty of the Person, however, some flaws in it should be reform or enforce by adopting the principle of constitutionalism (Mizan. N, 2014). In Article 5, no person shall be denied of his personal liberty (Federal Constitution, 2010), the person in this subsection is referring to everyone, not only citizens. Beside, this right is interpreted in the case of Aminah v Superintendent of Prison. There is no life deprivation and personal liberty as long as there is no arrest or detention. This shown that Malaysian law has become narrowness which they only refers to arrest and detention as a deprivation of liberty right (Mizan. N,2014). Moreover,…

    Copyright and Other Issues Regarding Digital Media and the Internet

    In the old days when you wanted to buy your favorite artist’s new album you would head to your local record store to buy it. The artists and record label would each get a cut of the profits. But today more music fans are opting for 99 cent downloads or streaming free music on-line. Obtaining a new track or album is just a click away with iTunes, subscription services like Spotify, free Internet streaming sites like Pandora, or even YouTube where you can watch music videos. For most of us, at least for myself, downloading music is a favorite activity when on the Internet. Downloading music and other media files from the Internet may make it conveniently available. But does it have a negative effect on the music industry? Does it affect the earnings of the artists? What are the pros and cons of downloading music? There are a lot of questions revolving around the music industry and the advances of digital media technology. I will explore these questions and attempt to answer the big question of whether downloading, both legal and illegal, is a real threat to the overall music industry?…

    At the outset, it is submitted that electronic contracts do not follow the traditional posting rules of offer and acceptance, outlined in various international documents like the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, 1980. A distance contract is defined under Regulation 5 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (‘CCR’) as, “a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded”.…

    legalissues in cyberspace 3

    Protections of Original Expressions, when a person creates a Trademark, ( a word, a phrase, a picture, design or a symbol) these are considered to be a Trademark that the original owner has created and has stated so in a legal way. This is where trademark protection and Original Expressions come into play. Copyright protection is necessary and an intangible right granted by the “the Copyright Act of 1976,” and is also a Federal Statute. These laws are put into place to protect the original proprietor and owner of the original piece created. “The Copyright Act allows creators to obtain a copyright by having an “original work of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, not known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.”…

    Cyberlaw

    Defamation is a complex and detailed tort. There is no statutory definition of defamation, but in common law it is the publication (in any form) by another of any statement which injures the plaintiff's reputation by exposing him to hatred, ridicule or contempt, or which tends to lower him in the esteem of right-thinking members of society. (Sim v Stretch [1936] 2 All ER 1237, 1240, per Lord Atkin). The tort of defamation is something of an oddity among torts: it is usually tried by a jury (though the Defamation Act 1996 makes low-value defamation triable by a judge alone), the right of action is extinguished by the death of either party, and no legal aid is available.…

    Law Application

    Whilst in my secondary education having the initial careers advice of what I aspired to do in the future, I came to realise that Law was an area of which I was extremely interested in and wished to peruse this as possible career. In recent years, I've read several fiction books and watched TV programmes which featured the legal system and also involved criminology - this sparked my interest even more. Once it came to deciding my A Level choices, Law was a clear choice for me; I felt it would give me a great understanding of the subject and a good head start into studying Law. This summer I have also independently got in contact with a local barrister to shadow her in order to have an introduction and insight into real life law, inside and outside the court doors. I would like to gain as much experience as possible in the law environment; I feel this illustrates the focus and commitment I have for the subject.…

    laws

    Obeying the law is a general moral obligation. Usually, laws are written from societal ethical codes; therefore the law can embody morality. Obeying the law usually implies the greatest good for the greatest number of people and therefore complies with Mill's utilitarianism. Especially if the law reflects general morality or protects people from pain, such as the admonition against murder, utilitarian theorists would argue that obeying the law is a general moral obligation. However, there are certain situations in which morality transcends the law. Utilitarian philosophy, such as that of John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham, can be applied to situations in which disobeying the law can be actually considered morally acceptable if the consequence is pleasure for a great number of people. Following orders is of the utmost importance in the military. Obedience is what enables the military to operate in an organized and effective manner which is clearly very important during challenging military situations. While an individual can question the notion of obedience in daily life, this luxury is often not available in the military where the grand goals and aims require smooth internal functioning and hierarchical coordination. Indeed, many of the standards that would be frowned upon outside the military are essential to the work's success within. For example, punishment is not deemed to be a positive occurrence in an average person’s life, whereas the military guide maintains that punishment strengthens one's determination and discipline and enables a person to learn and fully take the importance of following orders in. Not following orders is not an optional choice that recruits can make upon joining the army. The act of disobedience is considered to be an infractions and a person who placed himself in such a situation can find himself facing Article 15 charges. Thus, respect and obedience is of the utmost significance in the military as it helps maintain the internal…
